I have a builder currently sorting a brick opening and will be fitting a composite door into the opening. The aim is to have the inside hallway as wide as possible as going to squeeze a small wc into the hallway, which means trying to put the new door as far left to the inside wall as possible...

Hi all, having new upvc double glazed windows installed by a guy who is doing other bits on the house, before I hired him he said he was confident and had done windows before and nothing for me to worry about. I purchased the windows myself and just hired him to fit them along with other stuff...

Thanks for the tips about cleaning, im definately going to give them a go and hopefully should come up ok. I found a label on the rubber coupler inside the conservatory, its this thing, : So only the outside rubber joint needs swapping to a slip coupler, and the one on the inside of the...

Im on the phone to them, im going to get them to send someone out to rectify the mess they have made. What do I tell them? 2 slip couplers instead of the ugly black rubber things? And I can have a go at cleaning that panel myself when that soil pipe is out again

And can anyone advise about the green algae thats sandwiched in the panel nearest to the leaky soil pipe. Will this whole panel need replacing or would it be possible to take out, clean and refit?

Thanks Foxhole. Im pretty annoyed as they should have sorted it properly. Can you let me know what I need to tell them to get them back out to do it right. Really appreciate your help as i would be lost without the advice on here :) Thanks

No idea, he did tell me that the repair bits would be a in black as thats all Homeserve stock but I just wanted it done so went ahead with it. If this is going to give me problems maybe I should get back on the phone to them. Right now I have no idea how to get all that algae green crap out of...

Homeserve agreed to sort it so they have done now, they only use black pipes but oh well. Its up to me to get someone out to seal the hole now. Please see pics? I want to make sure its done right before I start chatting with roofers, so what would be the best way of sealing this up? Could...

Yes, I agree about the a wired stat being superior, similar to how I hate wireless doorbells and would much prefer a wired one. Its a necessary though as mum is disabled and likes to take the stat with her around the house, for example if she's upstairs its difficult for her to just nip...

Thanks mate, Ill try it and report back once fitted and running.

Aaah, thanks for that tip I will definately tell the electrician that. Have you come across the Salus RT510RF which is supposed to replace the RT500RF, looks like a newer model, might go for it as usually as time goes on little improvements are made, hoping it will pair up nicely to my...

Excellent mate, good start to the morning ticking this off my list.

Did you mean to say the Honeywell CM927 as I couldnt find the CM929 anywhere: And is this the correct Salus one: I had a salus my previous property, didn't give me any problems in about 5 years apart from the buttons being a bit sticky after a while but that was minor. Big saving if I go...

Im guessing this is the type of part I need: Wowzers, this is a more expensive excercise than i thought it would be. I try and find a stat with built in timer and see if its any cheaper.

Thanks Stem, off the top of your head do you know a make/model of clock that would work? Or a wireless thermostat with a built in timer that would work? Really appreciate it as im completely lost and need to get them before the electrician arrives.

Thanks. Do I need a new clock or can the new wireless thermostat be wired to that existing british gas clock?

Thanks lads. Good question about homeserve not covering it, the guy that came didnt give me a reason. He hopped into his van for 10 min, came out and told me the conservatory roof panel needs removing before he will do it. I might ring them up again and get some more clarification incase they...

Bought a house recently and I am renovating it at the moment. It has a gloworm 24cxi combi boiler with a british gas on/off clock and a separate wired thermostat, im looking to upgrade it to a wireless stat. Does anyone know if a honeywell DT9E like this will work with this boiler: The...
